An alias, that was at least once used with the new "tempalias" will not be
written to saved.cfg.
So, now there are four ways to create aliases:
1) alias (or "=")
General alias, who's value gets saved at game exit in saved.cfg, and
restored at the next restart - unless the alias was created at a time,
where persistidents was zero (usually during execution of the game's own
config files during startup).
2) const
Creates an alias, that can not be changed. Makes it harder for users
to destroy their config.
3) push
Reassigns an alias with a new value. After "pop", the old value is
restored. Allows the use of "local" aliases in scripts. Also avoids
name conflicts.
4) tempalias
Like "alias", but the value will not be written to saved.cfg.
The commit also changes aliases, written by the engine itself, to "temp":
gametimestart, __getmaprevisions
DOCREF tempalias
Defaults to omitting variables from saved.cfg, that are still at default
value. By setting omitunchangeddefaults to zero, those variables get
written, but commented out. The variable "groupvariables" sets the number
of variables with similar names, that can be grouped on one line. Setting
it to zero will additionally write min, max and default values and a
short description of the variable to file.
In general, variables, that are still at default value, will not be
restored from saved.cfg, so when the default in the game is changed, all
clients will use that new default. This way, testers don't have to erase
their saved.cfg as often.

If an alias has a local value assigned (by "push"), this change will write
the original value to saved.cfg instead of the last local value.
This has the additional effect, that aliases, that were created by "push",
will not be written to saved.cfg, since the original value was empty.
* combine all weapon attributes in a table
* sort variables and aliases
* group variables
* implement curname as SVAR
* implement cmdbuf as temporary alias
* parsed words starting with " will handle richtext
* all strings in saved.cfg that need escaping are escaped
* new command "escape" to escape a string manually
DOCREF escape
* use the same list of gun names for all occasions
* switched syntax, so that argument completion will work
* support old syntax, so old config files will work
* fix path handling by disallowing paths altogether ;)

allows a SVAR to be assembled when needed
also:
* mapmsg is now a SVAR
* getmapmsg was removed (now: $mapmsg)
* new editsvar script to edit any SVAR in the console buffer
* nonfunctional menu removed
DOCREF mapmsg getmapmsg editsvar
* new command "listoptions" lists the argument options for several
argument types like entities, weapons and teamnames
* "burstshots", "weapon", "magcontent", "magreserve", "fragmessage" and
"gibmessage" now allow guns to be specified by name
* "addpunct" allows plaintext arguments like "brackets" and "quotes"
* the "team" command now understands numeric teams
* entity types can now be specified by type index number
* removed some lists from the config files (now provided by listoptions)
* added argument completion for several commands
* change nextprimary from integer to string variable

Use LSHIFT to direct TAB-completion to browse backwards through the
available alternatives.
also: full cleanup of the commandcomplete()-code [by stef]
* fix crashing buffer overflow
* remove some ancient ludicrous code
* ignore more spaces
* browse command- and filename-alternatives in alphabetical order
* clean up nickcomplete
* more comments (sry)
The fix also allows to turn on/off the scope during intermission (since
a few years the scope was blocked in intermission, because it was
immediately turned off by scoreboard).
Sometimes the enet build seems to get messed up and "make" won't work
anymore in ../enet. The mrproper target tries to clean up ../enet, but
if it doesn't work, it deletes ../enet/Makefile manually. This triggers
a configure run in ../enet with the next make invocation - which should
fix everything.
The codeblocks editor cleans up surplus whitespace with every save by
default. That's nice, as long as everyone uses it. Otherwise, changes in
whitespace will creep into most commits and make the diffs hard to read.
Therefore: one commit with _only_ whitespace changed.
* SDL_GetTicks() returns uint
* there's no need to make a fuss about "starting" and "stopping" the clock
* instead of stopping the clock, we can now just get the elapsed time
The light calculation requires the random generator to be seeded with a
constant - otherwise repeated light recalculations would make the lights
change.
This patch allows the random generator to go back to the state before the
static seed().
0 - turn off all effects; 1 - turn on all effects;
2 - turn on color change/off size change for AR and > 3 shots in a row;
3 - turn off color change/on size change for AR and > 3 shots in a row.

SDL libraries are updated to v. 1.2.15, SDL_image libraries and headers
to v. 1.2.12. SDL headers were updated to v.1.2.15 earlier, in commit
78e1621e52 .
also stripped assaultcube.sh, server.sh and install_or_remove_menuitem.sh
of unnecessary or just wrong stuff
added script to generate checksum file packages/misc/checksums_md5.txt,
which is used by check_install.sh to look for missing and modified files
